Description
Wharfedale Hospital is one of the newest buildings in the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust providing a modern purposebuilt environment where excellent standards of patient care are delivered

Recent examples of this include a local chemotherapy service added in 2009 and plans to develop breast screening services at the hospital during 2010
Strong community links are in place with the proud market town of Otley where the hospital is located as well as with neighbouring communities such as Guiseley Rawdon Yeadon Burley and Pool all of whom feel a strong attachment to The Wharfedale
